Maybe it’s my algorithm, and I’m missing things, but shouldn’t we be WAY more focused on taking down the people holding the puppet strings now? Feels like Tr*mp is in a death spiral. He’ll take himself out. Time to start worrying about his puppet masters.

From Senator John Cornyn's office with regards to my email petitioning them NOT to defund NPR and PBS. They might as well have said: "the government no longer wishes to fund the truth."

Dear Robyn:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding public broadcasting. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this
important issue. Public broadcasting has played an important role in providing educational programming and increasing access to
information for every American. Local affiliates, in particular, serve their communities by offering content that reflects
regional interests and needs. These stations are valuable sources of news, education, and cultural programming that directly
benefit the people they serve. However, I am concerned that content produced and disseminated by NPR and PBS has become increasingly biased, which
raises questions about their role as publicly funded broadcasters. Public broadcasting should be a trusted source of
information, and that trust depends on maintaining journalistic integrity and avoiding partisan narratives.
Congress has the responsibility to manage taxpayer funds wisely and to eliminate unnecessary spending. In today's media
landscape, where Americans have access to an unprecedented variety of news sources, information platforms, and
educational content, we must carefully assess whether continued federal subsidies for broadcasting are warranted. If
taxpayers are funding media programming, Congress must ensure that any subsidized content adheres to the highest
standards of journalistic integrity, educational value, and political neutrality.
I supported the Rescissions Act of 2025 (H.R. 4), which rescinds $535 million annually in the Corporation for Public
Broadcasting's forward-funded appropriations for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 and passed the Senate on July 17, 2025. This
legislation passed the House of Representatives on July 18, 2025, and I look forward to seeing President Trump sign this
bill into law. This measured approach is an important step to address our growing national debt.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texas in the United States Senate.
Sincerely,
JOHN CORNYN

Sidenote: as an Epstein whistleblower, I cannot do justice to just how dizzying, fucked up & unmooring the past few days have been. I’ll write more about it—but wow is the craven hypocrisy & knowing dishonesty of folks demanding the release of a list that never existed & child porn is repulsive.

The fact that people didn't know about Trump's history with Epstein speaks to the information inequality pervasive in the US, and I think this would be a good time for reporters to resurface those stories

Talking to people on the other side doesn’t mean I’m on the other side. A lot of people seem to think it does though. Diplomacy and politics requires speaking to people you don’t like. It doesn’t make you friends. If you think it does then you clearly don’t know how life works in general 🤷

While Kristi Noem’s out here blaming everyone but herself, here’s her own April press release bragging about clawing back $882M in disaster resilience grants. The kind that could’ve helped in Texas. They’d rather wage culture wars than actually protect human lives.

FEMA Ends Wasteful, Politicized Grant Program, Returning Agency to Core Mission of Helping Americans Recovering from Natural Disasters
Release Date: April 4, 2025
Under Secretary Noem, DHS is eliminating waste, fraud and abuse
WASHINGTON - FEMA is ending the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program and canceling all BRIC applications from Fiscal Years 2020-2023. If grant funds have not been distributed to states, tribes, territories and local communities, funds will be immediately returned either to the Disaster Relief Fund or the U.S. Treasury.
Statement Attributable to a FEMA Spokesperson:
"The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans affected by natural disasters. Under Secretary Noem's leadership, we are committed to ensuring that Americans in crisis can get the help and resources they need."
Approximately $882 million of funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will be returned to the U.S. Treasury or reapportioned by Congress in the next fiscal year. The 2021 law made $1 billion available for BRIC over five years, $133 million to date has been provided for about 450 applications. FEMA estimates more than $3.6 billion will remain in the Disaster Relief Fund to assist with disaster response and recovery for communities and survivors.
Ending this program will help ensure that grant funding aligns with the President's Executive Orders and Secretary Noem's direction and best support states and local communities in disaster planning, response and recovery.
